State Compliance

Prime Health Services maintains a Compliance Department to
ensure that Prime Health and Prime Health's clients remain in
compliance with each state's ever-changing laws, rules,
regulations, and court decisions. Most state legislatures meet from
January through May each year, which is when decisions are made
regarding existing law and new or proposed laws. Some states (e.g.,
Texas) have legislatures that meet only every other year, so these
states have very powerful commissioners who can more quickly and
easily change state regulations. One of the primary goals of our
Compliance Department is to keep our company and clients well
informed of the decisions made by these state legislatures and
commissioners.

Another role of our Compliance Department is to handle state
certifications and filings. Some states have adopted legislation
that governs provider networks and/or managed care organizations
(MCO) in an effort to control their workers' compensation costs.
Each state's network and MCO regulations are different, which is
why Prime Health's state offerings and certifications vary
state-to-state as well. For more detailed information on our state
specific offerings, please visit the "State Resources" page.

Similarly, many of the states that require network or MCO
certifications also require frequent updates or filings to their
state regulatory departments. Such filings may be annual,
bi-annual, or even quarterly, and our Compliance Department works
hard to keep us well informed and compliant under the strict
timeframes. Our continuous evaluation of the regulations that
govern these state certifications/filings allows our company and
clients to offer the most up-to-date and progressive services and
products to our customers.

Prime Health works hard to remain in compliance with the various
requirements of our local, state, and federal governments and court
systems, which is why our Compliance Department is a good resource
for our company and clients. If you have a compliance or
certification question, please contact our General Counsel, Allison
Harris, at compliance@primehealthservices.com
